August 18, 2010 - We
introduced the
first fifteen members of the Moon Society's then new members of our Board
of Advisors
in our November 28, 2004 report. Since then, we added
five more on March 2, 2005, four more people to the Board of
Advisors on January 17, 2007, and ten more on March 2, 2009.

Today we are proud to present our two latest additions. They are:

Pradeep Mohandas - Secretary
of Moon Society India, now in formation. Pradeep has been on the Moon
Society Leadership Council for some time, and has been an active
contributor of input to the Society on a wide range of issues. Former
President of SEDS India (Students for the Exploration and Development
of Space), the largest SEDS national contingent in the World, Pradeep
is now living in Mumbai, India's largest city, top port, and main
financial center, formerly known as Bombay. Pradeep is also a
co-editor and contributor of our new publication, Moon Miners Manifesto - India Quarterly (M3IQ) which had produced seven issues to date. Anyone can freely download these issues.

Jayashree Sridhar -President
of Moon Society India. Jayashree is a young woman with an energetic
spirit and an unbelievable string of accomplishments for someone of her
age. She now lives and works in Chennai, Tamil Nadu state. Chennai, a
major port city, was formerly known as Madras. Jayashree has been able
to attend space conferences in the United States, meeting with
David Dunlop each time to work on issues related to further development
of Moon Society India. It was at the first such meeting, that Dunlop
quickly recognized her talents and leadership skills.

It
is our belief that, with it focus on students, starting with India's
SEDS chapters, Moon Society India will develop new ways of reaching out
to young people, ways that we can strive to adapt to conditions in
North America and elsewhere. MSI is building a presence throughout
India, including Delhi, Bhopal, and other major cities. Our offspring
will soon enough be teaching its parent, and may soon have a
larger membership than the Moon Society (International) itself. We look
forward to such a development! In turn MSI intends to list Moon Society
President Peter Kokh and Editor of M3IQ, as well as Moon Society
Director of Project Development David A. Dunlop on its own Board of
Advisors. Working together, Kokh and Dunlop launched M3IQ in
November 2008, just after the successful launch of India's lunar
orbiter, the highly successful Chandrayaan-1. Moon Society India
has announced its intention of renaming M3IQ, and providing a new chief
editor, in short, its intention to make the publication its own. And
that has been our goal from the outset. We look forward to that
development.

We thank both of these dynamic leaders for their willingness to serve as Advisors to the Moon Society.
